Ten tiny little fingers that always want to play,
That never stop exploring the wonder of today.
Ten tiny little fingers that from the very start,
Will reach out for tomorrow yet always hold your heart.

Hi...

I'm kinda bored here so here I am, rambling and babbling my thoughts in my blog. Many of you who know me know that I love babies a lot. I go gaga when I saw babies. Hema; my bestie said that I drool over babies more than I drool at hot guys. Hehe…I think she is right. Well, it is undeniable that babies are amazing creature created by Allah on Earth. Babies are amazing in all sort of way; biologically, physically or even emotionally. They are angels on Earth. 

Personally, I think that those who hated babies must be short-circuit in any way. Who can hate babies? They are basically the purest thing on Earth. They are the beauty in all the ugliness that the world has. Those who hated them must be wrong in all sorts of way, but that is just me talking. 

I really love babies. I adore them and just like what I said earlier on, I go gaga over them. I will usually annoys those who walked with me because I will go on and on about babies that I saw along the way. Why am I fascinated by them? Well, they seemed undisturbed; like they know that the whole world got their back, that they are protected and safe in their world. They know that we won’t let anything harm them because they are important. Their features; their huge starry eyes, their small red bud of mouth, their cherubic cheek and that pudgy small fingers and legs, the smallest palm of their…they are the smallest, the loudest, the smelliest and the most adorable creature that human can have. 

I love to watch them sleep so peacefully and watching them makes me feel calm and serene. I love it a lot when they suddenly smile in their sleep; as if they saw a glimpse of heaven and that smile is so mesmerizing, I cannot take my eyes away from them. 

The smile that flickers on baby's lips when he sleeps- does anybody know where it was borne? Yes, there is a rumor that a young pale beam of a crescent moon touched the edge of a vanishing autumn cloud, and there the smile was first born . . .
-Rabindranath Tagore-

That is one of the reason I always watch them sleeping; placing my palm on their heart and feeling the small heartbeat in my hand. It makes me feel that the higher power exists in this world. Baby’s laugh and gurgle also gets me. Babies have different vocal. You know a baby’s laugh and normal people’s laughter. Their laughter makes you wanna ask them; ‘What is funny?’ and you laugh yourself silly with them. We make faces to make them laugh so that we can hear the tinkling, gurgling laughter from their tiny mouth and that huge eyes lit with happiness.

When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be.
-James Matthew Barrie-

I also love the smell of their forehead because there is a sweet scent; a scent that people say comes from heaven. I also love the smell of their sweat because they don’t really have glands to produce body odour so their scent is different than us. They have the baby’s smell. I also love the smell of baby’s puke. Hehe…. I know. Some people find it revolting but I kinda like it. It is just the smell of milk, no harms done. Their small hands and the way they gripped your finger is so…I can’t describe the feeling that it give me. To look into their eyes and the innocent face and to know that this small creature exists in the womb; a human carrying a small life is indescribable. It is divine. 

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.
-Vincent van Gogh-
